Next, gently fold in your choice of strawberry pie filling or sugared fresh strawberries. If you’re using fresh strawberries, make sure they are evenly coated with sugar beforehand to enhance their sweetness and juiciness. This addition creates bursts of real fruit flavor and texture within the creamy filling.
5. Assemble the Pie
Pour the prepared filling into the graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top to create an even surface, ensuring that the filling reaches all edges of the crust.
6. Chill the Pie
Place the assembled pie in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours, or until the filling has set completely. This step is crucial for allowing the flavors to meld and for the pie to firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.
7. Garnish and Serve
Before serving, optionally garnish the pie with fresh strawberry slices arranged in a decorative pattern. Add a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Slice the pie into wedges and serve chilled, savoring every creamy and fruity bite.
